Pumpkin Chip Muffins

Pumpkin season is great and pumpkins be used in all manner of recipes! Of course, the obligatory pumpkin pie is a must when it comes to Thanksgiving. Still, for more transportable and easier-to-portion food, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are a great alternative or warm-up for the Thanksgiving season! (Aaron S.)
